26 Best Beach Clubs in Phuket 2025
Beach Clubs in Phuket are the perfect addition to your tropical holiday: beach and exploration during the day, sunset on a comfortable lounger with cocktails and cool music in the evening, and party with international DJs at night.
Panwa Beach (Kao Khad Beach) ⛱️
Panwa Beach, locally known as Kao Khad Beach, is not a great swimming beach but has the charm of these remote bays not many would take the time to explore while visiting Phuket.
Laem Singh Beach ⛱️
Laem Singh Beach is one of Phuket’s most beautiful beaches, but it was closed in April 2017. It looks excellent in any weather, like being in the Caribbean, a bit nostalgic, very green with palm trees leaning over the sand and now, you can have the beach almost for yourself!
Jungceylon Phuket
Located in the heart of Patong Beach, not far from the famous Bangla Road, Jungceylon Phuket shopping centre is the largest on Phuket Island, spanning more than 200,000 square meters. Shoppers can explore a variety of souvenir shops, dine at numerous restaurants, visit a department store, or catch a movie at the cinema
Central Phuket 🛍️
Central Phuket is one of the biggest malls on the island, split into two massive wings on either side of a wide road — Festival and Floresta. If you’re just exploring, it can feel like two different malls, but it’s actually one big complex.
Bon Island Phuket 🏝️ Lunch at Koh Bon Restaurant
Bon Island (or Koh Bon) is located just south of Rawai Beach in Phuket and is just a short longtail boat ride away. A few sandy beaches pepper the coast of this tiny island, and despite being so close to Phuket, it is not too busy with tourists.
Banana Beach ⛱️
Banana Beach in Phuket is a little hidden treasure. Phuket is a world-famous holiday destination, and every corner of this tiny tropical island has been explored, invaded, sold, developed and exploited.
Ao Yon Beach ⛱️
Ao Yon Beach is a surprisingly quiet and remote beach where you can have a calm walk and only meet locals and a few longtime residents.
Ao Sane Beach ⛱️
Ao Sane Beach proves that Phuket still has some little beaches hidden from view where you can pretend nothing has changed in the past twenty years. Of course, there is no such thing as a ‘secret beach’ anymore, but you must make a little effort to get there.
Wat Sri Sunthon – Phuket Reclining Buddha
Wat Sri Sunthon (Wat Srisoonthorn) is known for the immense golden Buddha reclining at the top of a large building in the ‘Pang Sai Yat’ posture, which corresponds to “Realizing Nirvana”. The statue seems to be staring endlessly at the frantic traffic on the nearby road to Phuket International Airport. Of course, you already knew that ‘Wat’ is the Thai word for ‘Temple’.
Soi Romanee in Phuket Town
Soi Romanee, in the historical centre of old Phuket town, is a short street with a long and colourful history. Today it is home to souvenir shops, fancy ice cream parlours and small but posh guesthouses.
Similan Islands
The Similan Islands form a fabulous archipelago in the Andaman Sea, just 120 km northwest of Phuket island. These small islands are so stunning; you don’t even need to be an excellent photographer to come back with amazing photos.

Phuket Aquarium in Cape Panwa
The Phuket Aquarium in Cape Panwa is not immense, as the tunnel is only a few metres long, but it is still a great place to entertain you and your kids on a rainy day and might even be your chance to see baby turtles.
18 Secret Beaches of Phuket
There are still secret beaches in Phuket and some hidden and quiet spots, most of which are beautiful. Of course, some are difficult to find, but surprisingly many are in plain sight and easy to access.
Mai Khao Beach ⛱️
Mai Khao is 11 kilometres long, the longest beach in Phuket, and because it is part of the Sirinat National Park, it still looks in some parts as deserted as when we first visited it in 1990.
Koh Panyi Village
Entirely built on stilts in Phang Nga Bay, Koh Panyi is a surprising village standing near the famous James Bond Island and ione of the most visited places people visit in a day tour in Phuket.
Rang Hill in Phuket Town (Khao Rang)
Rang Hill (Khao Rang), located in the middle of Phuket, is famous for its scenic restaurants, temple, monkeys, and a new viewpoint bridge.
Kathu Waterfall
Kathu waterfall is small but can be attractive during the rainy season when the strong stream and the tropical vegetation are dense and green. It is more pleasant than the higher Tonsai and Bang Pae Waterfalls, and access is free of charge.
